Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

Colección de Parcelas – 2014; Bodegas y Viñedos Las Nubes; Baja Califonia, Mexico
Another fine wine from
Mexico! This rich red blend represents great quality from the Valle de Guadalupe wine region. We received multiple insights
regarding what the exact blend is, but the most reliable so far says 10% Tempranillo,
60% Carignan, 20% Grenache, 10% Sryah. It’s a nice dry bold fruit wine
with excellent tannins. The color is red to violet with notes of prunes
and caramel initially followed by some smokiness to compliment the sensory
experience. There is also a bit of minerality to add to the tasting notes,
which is pleasantly unique to this terroir. On the finish, this one is
nice and smooth leaving you longing for more! This fresh and balanced red
wine is a keeper so it's worth stocking
up a few bottles and saving a few to sip later. Enjoy!
